Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 485: Chapter 468: Don’t Let Them Find You

Underneath the factory lies a sprawling hive-like experimental base, with the second-to-last layer being the most fortified experimental zone.

Xue Yinzhou and Xiao Jin, after entering the base, were forced to separate amidst the chaotic battle.

With a deafening rumble, massive transparent barriers rose on all sides, entrapping Xue Yinzhou within.

This glass-like barrier, made of an unknown material, was remarkably strong; even a Tenth Rank Beastman’s full-strength punch couldn’t shatter it.

On the upper floor, a group of staff members wearing protective suits appeared.

They wore protective masks that obscured their faces, and their clothing bore the familiar double helix pattern, clearly indicating their identity.

This group carried experimental records, glancing at the Snake Beast trapped inside the glass cover, whispering and recording something from time to time.

”Zzz—”

An internal spraying device appeared, spewing out large amounts of neurotoxic smoke.

These fumes wouldn’t directly kill a powerful Tenth Rank Beastman, but they had extremely potent hallucinogenic effects, paralyzing the Beastman’s nerves and weakening their mobility and combat effectiveness!

Xue Yinzhou transformed into his true form, his snake tail sweeping across the air, smashing the device with a loud bang!

The staff in the experimental base paused their recordings.

Someone cursed under their breath, ”Damn it, such a nuisance! This Snake Beast has killed quite a few experimental subjects already, today is the day of its demise!”

Someone else was excited, ”This Snake Beast is powerful; energy assessment reaches 85% of the Tenth Rank, and it’s about to mature.”

”What an excellent talent, reaching the peak of the Tenth Rank at such a young age. It’s a pity, a pity it was born here...”

”The previous experimental subjects couldn’t compare to this Snake Beast’s talent, this is truly a top-class specimen, no wonder they failed.”

Someone said enthusiastically, ”Experimenting on it might succeed!”

”We’ll need to release the killer weapon to subdue it.”

Their voices were specially modified, concealing gender and age, yet it wasn’t hard to discern their pathological fanaticism!

The glass cover isolated sound and gas flow, so Xue Yinzhou couldn’t hear their whispers, but as a strong Beastman who roamed life and death from an early age, he instantly sensed a looming extreme danger.

This was the strongest presence he had ever encountered in his life! It invoked an instinctive fear within him!

A booming roar shook the ground, and a circular crack appeared.

A circular platform rose, surrounded by a layer of semi-transparent glass, five to six meters high, permeated with scarlet gas, obscuring the view of a massive, distorted figure inside the cabin.

Bang!

The cabin door opened, releasing a gush of cold air and a fetid stench.

A tentacle shot out instantaneously.

Xue Yinzhou’s expression changed sharply, his snake tail swiftly condensing into an energy blade, severing the tentacle with a snap, causing it to fall to the ground.

The tentacle, like a piece of rancid meat, squirmed furiously on the floor like a fish on a chopping board; sharp teeth grew along its periphery, as if possessing a will of its own, and it shot out again, lunging at the snake tail.

Xue Yinzhou fiercely slammed it against the glass with his tail, instantly crushing it into a mass of indistinct flesh, splattering blood that emitted corrosive black smoke on him.

The snake tail lightly twisted on the ground, yet Xue Yinzhou’s face remained unchanged. His deep purple snake eyes contracted into thin lines, fixating on the looming figure emerging from the smoke.

”Roar!”

The grotesque creature roared and pounced, carrying a nauseating, reeking aura.

Xue Yinzhou dodged the attack, the snake tail swept swiftly, binding the creature’s waving tentacle, injecting pitch-black venom between raised scale ridges.

”Ow—!” The creature’s five eyes bulged, and two quasi-human arms extended from its back, slamming the White Snake heavily onto the ground, delivering a powerful punch!

A trace of crimson trickled from the corner of the White Snake’s mouth, but its gaze grew deeper and colder. It opened its sharp mouth, and tore off the beastman’s arm with a bite!

This creature seemed assembled from countless animal corpses; each time a tentacle or body part was severed, it diminished slightly in size.

The creature howled in pain and frenzy, with its attack power climbing higher!

The two sides launched into intense combat.

Even the indestructible glass cover shook perilously.

The staff watched the desperate struggle with great interest.

Like tourists watching monkeys at a circus.

Someone started a timer, estimating how many minutes this Snake Beast could hold on.

But soon, they couldn’t laugh anymore.

The snow-white Snake Body of Xue Yinzhou was riddled with eroded scars, yet the creature fared no better; all its tentacles were torn away by him, and a large hole gaped in its abdomen, partially exposing the Energy Crystal Core.

Ultimately, Xue Yinzhou seized the opportunity, unleashed the Devouring Power, and successfully exterminated this creature!

Even crushed its Crystal Core!

Cracks appeared on the glass cover.

The staff was utterly shocked.

How could this be?

”Wait, look at that Black Fog, doesn’t it resemble the Devouring Ability?”

”The energy fluctuations I observed are similar too, but this power shouldn’t be...”

”How could it appear here?”

”But the King Snake Clan are all black, this Snake Beast is a White Snake.”

”I once heard about an albino orphan escaping the King Snake Clan; could it be him?”

”Still alive, what a surprise! In that case, no need to kill him, capture him alive and bring him back!”

”No, in this land, our powers are suppressed, and we fear we can’t contend with this Snake Beast.”

”Then inform them about this, let them handle it internally. I’m sure that esteemed person will be very ’pleased’!”

The glass cover shattered with a crack, and breathability resumed. Xue Yinzhou heard the Beastmen’s discussions, and a searing pain erupted in his mind, ”Uh...”

The agonizing memories of being hunted in childhood, those deeply buried and sealed memories, surged like a tide—

Xue Yinzhou clutched his head fiercely, his knuckles whitened from the force, his entire body trembled violently like a withered leaf in a storm, his expression twisted almost ghastly.

The old man’s dying admonitions were still vividly clear.

Resonating repeatedly in his mind.

No...

Don’t let those people find you...

Child, escape out of here...

Run as far as you can, never return...

Don’t let them catch you...

Bang!

A black fog suddenly erupted from Xue Yinzhou, shattering the bulletproof glass cover!

He lunged like black lightning towards the staff above, and before they could even scream, the recording instruments scattered with a crash.

Where the Black Fog passed, only deathly silence remained.

When Shen Tang and Lu Xiao arrived, they stumbled upon this chaotic and bloody scene, with Xue Yinzhou engulfed in rampant black aura, losing control once more!

”Yinzhou!” Shen Tang shouted anxiously.

Xue Yinzhou’s figure stiffened slightly, a glimmer of clarity flickering in his eyes; he looked dazedly towards Shen Tang not far away, but was soon engulfed again by sinister killing intent, charging towards her like an arrow leaving the bowstring—he seemed intent on killing her!

Lu Xiao rushed in front of her, blocking Xue Yinzhou’s attack.

With no time to feel heartbroken, Shen Tang quickly used her spiritual power to soothe Xue Yinzhou.

The black aura gradually faded from the White Snake, its snake eyes returning to clarity, looking at Shen Tang and softly calling, ”Tangtang...”

The severely injured body could no longer endure, and suddenly collapsed without strength, Shen Tang hurriedly ran over, catching his body.

Shen Tang was dragged down by the weight, kneeling on the ground, cradling the White Snake in her arms, feeling its cold body, her palm instantly sticky with viscous blood.

She said tenderly, ”It’s me, I’m here.”

”I’m sorry, Tangtang, I thought you were an illusion...” The White Snake’s tail tip gently coiled around her calf, carrying a hint of apologetic endearment.

Along this journey, Xue Yinzhou encountered too many traps and hallucinations, seeing ”her” before wasn’t the first time, a single misstep could be fatal.

Shen Tang could only imagine the dangers he faced along the way, dismissing it with little mind, she bent down and soothingly kissed its head, ”Don’t be afraid, it’s really me this time, I’ll heal your wounds first.”

”Mm~” Feeling the warm kiss of the female, the White Snake fully relaxed its tense body, calmly closing its eyes.

After Shen Tang treated his injuries, she looked around and asked, ”Where’s Xiao Jin? Wasn’t he with you?”
